To read an XML file and output it as it is in a browser using PHP, you can use the readfile() function. Here's an example:
$file = 'example.xml';
// Set the content type to XML
header('Content-type: application/xml');
// Output the contents of the file
readfile($file);
In this example, the header() function is used to set the Content-type header to application/xml, which tells the browser to treat the content as XML. Then, the readfile () function is used to output the contents of the XML file.
This will display the XML content in the browser just as it is in the file. Note that if the XML file contains any characters that are not valid in an XML document, the browser may not display it correctly. In that case, you may need to escape those characters or modify the XML file to make it valid.
